I ran in the same issue today on questing with yt-dlp.
while yt-dlp -U shows:
Current version: [email protected] from yt-dlp/yt-dlp
Latest version: [email protected] from yt-dlp/yt-dlp

it looks like cloudflare is "protecting" youtube to be automated

error-403-and-the-site-has-an-open-issue-on-the-tracker-thats-labeled-
cloudflare-related-what-can-i-do

but instead of fiddeling with useragents i tried adding --extractor-args
"youtube:player-client=web_embedded,web,tv"  which worked since youtube
seems to block yt-dlp pretending to be a iOS client .
